The Wine Diet is a natural and complete nutrition and lifestyle plan for adults.

Professor Roger Corder's book is an informative, science based, sensible and wide ranging discussion about wines and other foods rich in procyanidins (a type of polyphenol), coronary and general health, plus diet plans, recipes and more.

Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine, and World-renowned wine writer (Financial Times, Dec 23, 2006):   This is much the meatiest book of this genre, written by the measured and thoroughly objective professor of experimental therapeutics...
...extremely useful and informative book...

When Wine Spectator asked Roger Corder about his book and commented it reads less like a diet book and more as a set of recommendations for a healthy lifestyle Roger replied - "Apart from vaccinations, most medical interventions are reactive to disease rather than proactive in prevention. Many people, including those that are medically qualified, expect medications or other interventions to reverse the disease process. But, for heart disease and diabetes, options are still very limited, so prevention is a much better approach. After 25 years doing research on blood pressure and heart disease, I realized the pharmaceutical approach should not be first choice to better health but rather the backup plan for when things go wrong. The Red Wine Diet describes a holistic approach to better long-term health: a complete nutrition and lifestyle plan. The science behind wine and health is reviewed in order to recommend the best wines to drink, and alternative food and beverage choices for non-wine drinkers. The diet advice is based on numerous studies that provide an evidence base for healthy nutrition to avoid heart disease and cancer, and also cut risk of dementia, blindness and osteoporosis in old age. It dismisses the role of low-fat diets because there is not the evidence to show this works either in terms of cutting heart disease or in helping people lose weight."
